Title: Saturn Occultation - Old Video
Post by: Paul on August 02, 2008, 06:58:28 pm
Thought this might be an interesting one - this is my webcam video from 22nd May 2007 showing the re-emergence of Saturn from behind the Moon. Unfortunately the YouTube compression has lost a lot - the original shows more detail and greater contrast on Saturn. This is 4x speed.

It's great that you have captured this event on the video, Paul!  :) I hope it looks better without YouTube compression. I have also seen this event in May 2007, but only visually

I remember that video Paul very well. It's a beauty and comes up surprisngly well even with the youtube compression.

Just like Roman, I remember watching the event and thought it was fantastic!
